1) The site is within the Green Belt
2) No direct access to the road network - potential access points are Meadowside Road and/or Bartle Gill Drive
3) Both the above mentioned roads would connect into Langley Lane above the school entrance. This is already highly congested at school start and end times and would add to the flow of traffic past the school. This development is likely to add (an estimated) 40 - 80 vehicles to this congestion.
4) The site would encroach within a few tens of metres of the Local Wildlife Site just to the north of the proposed development
In summary this development fails to make Bradford "a greener place to live" in that it adds to the urban extent (urban sprawl), and is neither a brownfield site nor an example of regeneration - two principles on which the Local Plan is supposedly based.
